-die Zuganschläge in Madrid 2004 – waren eine Serie von zehn durch islamistische Terroristen ausgelösten Bombenexplosionen in der spanischen Hauptstadt Madrid. Nach Angaben des spanischen Innenministeriums kamen 191 Menschen ums Leben, 2051 wurden verletzt, 82 davon schwer. Damit stellt dieses Ereignis nach dem Anschlag auf die Pan-Am-Maschine 1988 über dem schottischen Lockerbie in der Geschichte der Europäischen Union (EU) den terroristischen Anschlag mit den meisten Todesopfern dar.
Slobodan Milošević (von 1989 bis 1990 Präsident der Sozialistischen Republik Serbien, von 1990 bis 1997 Präsident der Republik Serbien, von 1997 bis 2000 Präsident der Bundesrepublik Jugoslawien – im Zusammenhang mit den Jugoslawienkriegen wurde er 1999 als erstes Staatsoberhaupt noch während seiner Amtsausübung von einem Kriegsverbrechertribunal, dem Internationalen Strafgerichtshof für das ehemalige Jugoslawien in Den Haag wegen Völkermordes angeklagt) starb 2006 während des im Jahre 2002 begonnenen Prozesses. Milošević wurde tot in seiner Zelle in der United Nations Detention Unit, dem Gefängnis des ICTY aufgefunden. Eine erste Obduktion der Leiche durch vom Gericht bestellte Gutachter ergab, daß er an einem Herzinfarkt verstorben war.
Michail Gorbatschow ( war von März 1985 bis August 1991 Generalsekretär des Zentralkomitees der Kommunistischen Partei der Sowjetunion und von März 1990 bis Dezember 1991 Präsident der Sowjetunion. Durch seine Politik der Glasnost und der Perestroika  leitete er das Ende des Kalten Krieges ein) wurde am 11. März 1985, dem Tag nach dem Tod des damaligen Generalsekretärs der KPdSU, Konstantin Tschernenko, mit 54 Jahren zum zweitjüngsten Generalsekretär in der Geschichte der Kommunistischen Partei gewählt.
-General of the Army Douglas MacArthur (hatte im 2. Weltkrieg gemeinsam mit Admiral Chester W. Nimitz den Oberbefehl über den pazifischen Kriegsschauplatz) wurde 1942 vom US-Kriegsministerium von den Philippinen abgezogen und zum Oberbefehlshaber der alliierten Truppen im Südwestpazifik ernannt. In dieser Funktion leitete MacArthur von Australien aus den Feldzug zur Befreiung Neuguineas
-die Rockband Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young (David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash und Neil Young) veröffentlichte 1970 ihr Album „Déjà Vu“.
